"The California Highway Patrol (CHP) is aware of the video and we are looking into the incident. As a matter of policy, every time there is a use of force by our officers, there is a review conducted to determine whether the use of force was appropriate." Joslin said.

"That will be done in this case, however, since there is an ongoing investigation, it would be premature to comment on this specific video segment without reviewing the entire incident," she said.

Wow really? Tell me ….how many times do you have to punch some one in the face in order to arrest them? Also what part of the police code says you can just ground and pound anyone? He was obviously in control of the situation…whatever it was….

Wow! What a tough cop, his life was clearly threatened. I hope he goes to jail for a long time and some inmates beat him senseless………. But wait, he already is senseless……. Inmates just love X cops! The good ole CHP will put him on paid leave while they try to save his worthless @%#………

WOW WOW WOW! From what i can see, it was a senseless act on the part of the cop, it looked like a gangster initiation or worse, It’s obvious he lost control, good lord! BUT, I’m so glad this convo didn’t turn into a race hate war, so many do…our society has a long long long way to go, so sad.
